Chapter 562: Chapter 562: Supporting the Back
A black Maybach ca to a stop.
Emily Parker’s facial features wrinkled up, her gaze fixed on the car with extre displeasure.
“Who is this? Quite the arrogance.”
The car door opened, and a man’s tall figure erged from the vehicle.
With a high-bridged nose, deep-set eyes, and tightly pursed slender lips, his pitch-black eyes were filled with a cool and icy light.
The aura he carried with him exuded an overwhelming oppressive force.
Waylon Lewis knitted his brows, his gaze sweeping around the area.
Hope Williams pressed her lips together slightly, feeling an unexpected sense of vulnerability within her heart the mont she saw Waylon.
Sophie Zhou, standing in front of Hope, had her eyes light up, adhering to Waylon like superglue, her heart racing tumultuously as she gazed upon the man’s face that could overturn all living beings.
Nervously biting her lower lip, her hand unconsciously tightened on the arm of Emily Parker.
Who is this man?
Just one glance and it’s apparent he’s no ordinary person, coupled with his high-end custom-tailored suit and his extraordinarily noble temperant, he seed as if he’d walked right out of an oil painting.
How co she had never seen this man in City A before?
Does such a man really exist in City A?
No matter who he is, such a dazzling man is simply her kind of love.
Seeing her niece’s eyes almost glued to soone else, Emily Parker gave a soft cough as a reminder.
“Aunt, he… he is really handso, I… I like him very much…”
Sophie Zhou lowered her voice, her cautious eyes continuously sweeping towards Waylon, unable to conceal the excitent in her eyes.
Emily Parker, too, was a shrewd figure amongst the high society, and it was clear to her that the man before her was anything but ordinary.
Only, she felt that she had seen this face sowhere before.
And yet, for the mont, she couldn’t seem to recall where.
“What’s happening?” Waylon, seeing Hope’s slightly pale face and the tears welling up in her eyes, felt a surge of boundless rage rise within his deep eyes.
Sophie stepped forward without hesitation and took the lead in seizing the right to speak, with a delicate and gentle tone, “Sir, there was so unpleasantness here. This lady tried to seduce my uncle and was caught by my aunt. I just accidentally nearly ran into this lady with my car, that’s all.”
Waylon’s brows jumped fiercely, as his gaze shifted to Hope.
Hope’s eyes lifted slightly, and she helplessly shrugged her shoulders.
Sophie deliberately phrased it as an accident, anwhile conveniently painting Hope as a woman who seduces n.
Thomas Hughes, who had been following behind Waylon all along, was full of dismay, resisting the urge to cover his face with his hand.
How dare this woman.
It was bad enough she slandered their lady.
She also nearly ran over their lady, and even had the audacity to say it in front of their boss.
This was akin to slitting her own throat.
Heh.
Thomas couldn’t help but chuckle in his heart.
He sneakily observed his boss’s expression.
Mhm, sure enough, the boss’s face darkened bit by bit, his eyes growing blacker as though as deep as an abyss.
Considering the crowd gathering around and all the luxury cars, passersby thought there had been so terrible accident.
Everyone couldn’t help but co over to investigate.
Quite a few people recognized the current rising star Sophie Zhou. The Parker Family had spent a lot of money pushing Sophie, and she had just cooperated with Harry Williams on a drama, and her montum was fierce.
But Sophie wasn’t afraid of being photographed, after all, she wasn’t the one in the wrong.
This incident could also earn her a surge of popularity.
Sophie tidied up her hair and straightened her back, putting on a good show. With a troubled look on her face, she began to ‘advise’ Hope:
“Miss, respect is as important to a person as bark is to a tree. You’re so beautiful that there’s no need to degrade yourself. My aunt and uncle have been in love for decades, and I hope you won’t interfere. After all, it won’t look good for you either, right?”
Hope looked at the girl in front of her who was ‘kindly advising’ her, as if watching a foolish spectacle.
With indifference, she tugged the corner of her lips, “Miss Parker says I’m interfering in soone else’s relationship, where’s the evidence?”
“I and my aunt both saw with our own eyes that my uncle stuffed a card into your pocket; is that false? I don’t think my uncle would give a card to soone he has no relationship with for no reason, what are you still quibbling about? Just take my advice,” Sophie Zhou said with an air of superiority, almost as if she were speaking for her well-being.
Her voice wasn’t quiet, and the people around began to whisper to each other.
“What happened?”
“It seems that this woman seduced soone else’s husband and got caught by the wife.”
“Is it really that thrilling? But this lady doesn’t just look beautiful; with her noble and elegant deanor, she doesn’t seem like that kind of person. Plus, all her outfits are designer couture; she definitely looks like she cos from a wealthy family.”
“Who knows. There are plenty who latch onto those of higher power. The one speaking is Sophie Zhou; she’s Miss Parker. And the lady she called ‘aunt’ must be Old Master Parker’s daughter, Emily Parker, right? She married into the Carter Family, and they’re no ordinary high society. It must be that this girl wants to get in with the Carter Family.”
“How disgusting, Ms. Parker’s husband must be in his fifties by now; he could be her father, and yet she still seduces him, totally shaless.”
The chatter grew louder.
Hope Williams’s initially indifferent expression also turned sour.
“So that’s what happened.”
Waylon Lewis’s handso face was cold and dark, his deep black eyes devoid of any warmth.
“So she seduced your husband?” Waylon glanced at Emily Parker.
Emily Parker had initially been standing by with a pleased sneer.
Seeing Waylon’s gaze sweep towards her, she nodded, “That’s right.”
“You drove into her?”
Waylon’s gaze shifted to Sophie Zhou, who suddenly felt thrilled, her excitent growing.
He was looking at her?
Excellent.
Sophie Zhou lifted her chin in pride, thrilled by the unexpected gain from a simple outing with her aunt today.
Joy leaped in Sophie’s heart.
“Yes, but I didn’t do it on purpose.”
She still wanted to maintain her image, presenting herself as not intentionally at fault.
Waylon Lewis faintly nodded in response.
Sophie took a couple of steps forward and continued to speak for herself, “Sir, you better not bother with such trivial matters, don’t let such a woman dirty your eyes…”
“Ha, you’re simply despicable.”
Sophie Zhou was montarily stunned, “What?”
Waylon Lewis lifted his hand, his slender fingers curling slightly.
Thomas Hughes signaled to the bodyguards with his eyes, and one of them stepped forward and slapped Sophie Zhou’s mouth.
“Ah…”
Sophie Zhou’s mind went blank, with a numb pain spreading over her mouth. She scread and fell onto the car.
The people around gasped, watching the scene unfold in disbelief.
The bodyguard’s slap was much more forceful than Jade Bell’s earlier blow.
“Sophie!”
Emily Parker was instantly shocked and appalled.
But before she could confront the man, he gestured with his hand; there was no need for words.
Thomas Hughes understood and nodded in agreent.
“What are you doing?”
Emily Parker watched as her niece was dragged to the side by two bodyguards. With their intimidating deanor, she couldn’t make a decision and could only assert her identity, “Do you know who I am? How dare you act like this in front of , let her go.”
They didn’t listen to her at all.
Sophie Zhou was dragged aside, her delicate face completely losing its forr arrogance.
A loud revving of an engine sounded.
The Maybach suddenly charged towards Sophie Zhou.
“Ah——”
